Embutido is often called Filipino meatloaf—this recipe from chef Angela Dimayuga's Filipino-American Christmas menu uses ground pork. Don’t waste any of the paprika-tinted delicious juices remaining in the pan—sop them up with rice instead. You can find all of her recipes here.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Gently lower 6 eggs into a large saucepan of boiling salted water and cook 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool 2 minutes. Drain and carefully peel.
Step 2
Mix remaining 6 eggs in a large bowl with garlic, Parmesan, panko, butter, pickles, olives, raisins, vinegar, both paprikas, pepper, and 2 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 4½ tsp. Morton salt, then mix in pork.
Step 3
Line two 9x5" loaf pans with a sheet of foil, leaving 3" overhang on long sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray. Divide half of meat mixture between pans. Place 3 boiled eggs in a line down the center of each pan. Top with remaining meat mixture, packing tightly around eggs and making sure they are completely covered.
Step 4
Mix ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl and spread over both embutidos. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into several places, avoiding eggs if possible, registers 155°, 55–70 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer embutidos to a platter; slice.
Step 6
Do Ahead: Embutidos can be baked 4 days ahead. Let cool, cover and chill.

Back to TopOverall a very tasty dish. The only issue I had was the instructions for boiling the eggs. With only 5 minutes in boiling water, the yolk was still very soft and became compressed by the weight of the top layer of the pork mixture so cross-sections did not show a nice round yolk. Might be better to place the raw eggs in room temp water and remove them once the water starts to boil and then transfer to the ice water bath. Or just cook for 7 minutes instead of 5.

She took the easy way out. Embutido means sausage, therefore, should be rolled patiently like Sushi. Just check all Filipino recipes of Embutido on the WWW. This has too much salt, making the diner a candidate for diabetic coma and why 2 kinds of Paprika. She should have used annatto seeds to add color. The only thing right here are the boiled eggs. Definitely, NOT the traditional EMBUTIDO. Americanized, yes, hello Parmesan, another salty item.

Love this! I was a bit leery of some of ingredient combinations, but this was a huge hit in my house. I am not a fan of plain meatloaf, but my husband is, so this has been a great compromise. Love that it makes two loaves so we can have one right away and freeze the other for a quick meal in the coming weeks. Just made our second batch this weekend!
